Step-by-Step Instructions
Group Greeting Ritual
The leader can stand inside the circle, if it is not formed around a table.
While making eye contact, the leader puts their hands out, palms up, toward a student, and sways back and forth to the music. Students will usually take the leader’s hands.
However, the leader should offer their hands even if a student does not initially take them; often a student will respond later on.
Everyone sings or chants, “Hello, (student’s name)” and repeats with the music.
Don’t forget to greet the adults too!
Repeat steps 1-4 with a new leader (for example, a student), and/or a new sound.
Individual Greeting Ritual
This is very similar to the Group Greeting Ritual, but with three changes.
- The interaction generally takes place only between the leader and the student, rather than with the whole group.
- Students may wish to hold hands and sway, but could substitute handshakes or high fives instead if desired.
- The leader can ask questions of the students after greeting them.
